That's retarded. Clearly it was gravity that should get exp.

That's wrong because it's whatever he hit at the bottom, or drowning that actually killed him, not the cliff. Also the same logic could be applied to any situation where you used a weapon to kill someone.

Also I hope to fuck that GM never does jury duty.

>>54087695
The correct response to that is to ignore the GM and write down the exp on your sheet anyway.

>>54087759
Also, all my attacks have +20 counting all the bonus, honest :^)

If tree falls in the woods, on a squirrel, who gets the XP?

>>54087695
I have a hard time believing this actually happened. Then again, there's all sorts of people in the world.

Not counting the exp unless you kill is a really shit method. There are things way more impressive that just kill your way out of a problem

So, for the sake of argument, what class/level is gravity?

>>54088031
Your DM is blatantly disregarding the rules. Break the game on purpose from now on, meta game with all your might, anon

>>54088085
Depends on the gravity. Supermassive Black Hole? Lv.9999, obviously. Earth gravity? Barely through the double digits. I mean, we can escape its hold on us here, it has a ways to go.

>>54087727
The more you do it, the more exp gravity gets.
Eventually, it's going to level up, and the gravitational constant will increase slightly. This will be a bad time for nearly everyone

>>54088048
>technically your sword didn't kill him, blood loss did, the blood gets the xp

>>54087695

My first DM that ruled that if an enemy ran away we didn't get the experience because we didn't 'defeat it' but he admitted his DMPC gun toting goblin gained experience every session it showed up to take a pot shot at us and run away and was able to out level us.

>>54088048
>technically you didn't kill him, bleeding from the wound did

>>54088209
It's undeniably a thing regardless of whether or not you think it's driven in whole or in part by human activity and whether or not you think we should be trying to do anything about it.

>>54087781
And what if there were no observers of tree falling, will XP still be given?

The right answer would have been

>>54088360
This is how you get +1 magic items, anon.

Technically nobody kills nobody else.
Death does.
That's why nobody can defeat Death.

I'm starting to see a setting taking form here.
EVERYTHING in the world can gain experience, and thus can theoretically be played.

You wanna have a party comprised of A Swarm of Rats, A Poorly-Timed Gust of Wind, Tuberculosis, and A Fish Bone That Didn't Get Removed From the Food? You can do it.

>>54088402
Just use a phoenix down.

Or be a Belmont.

>>54088402
Crafting spends experience.
The act of creation lowers experience, but only death increases it.

Shit, Death must be OP compared to every god.

This sounds like a fun idea for a campaign. Everything in the universe has a character sheet, including concepts. If the character sheet levels up enough, it gets stronger.

The players are called to a wizard tower as part of a council of high level characters. The wizard has divined that "Gravity" is close to leveling up. The players have to find someway to stop it, or mitigate the effects of the gravitational constant of the universe increasingly slightly.

>>54089733
If that was the case, then explain how Goku and Vegeta can level up by doing gravity training?

Though, the fact that Saiyans get stronger when they get the shit beat out of them, makes me think their players are using Dungeon World EXP rules instead of what the rest of us are using.

>>54090289
Does the concept of "character sheet" have a character sheet? Maybe the higher it's level the more complex stats are?

Did you just jump out and push your enemy over the cliff? Then of course you get no XP. XP is just a way of showing that your character is gaining experience doing something. If you didn't fight the enemy, and thus gain experience in battle, you don't get XP.

Define the concept of a coherent self that can undergo the process we aren't colloquially terming "leveling up".

dragonborn finds a chest this leads to him not being able to crack it even with trying to break the lock with acid breath even this did not work
he hauls it back
turns out the chest is a fucking illusion and the coins and papers inside just melt when we touch them
ok whatever
try to figure out this illusion for 3 1/2 hours of game time
finally get a mage who doesn't just laugh at us and walk away
gives us a charm to protect us from the illusion
oh thank god we can play the game again jesus christ
onward to our first job
protect some dude, gotcha
get to the town
its on fucking fire and being seiged by some men slinging fire and wearing shadowy armor
ok then lets fuck em up
kill one
he straight up gets right back up even though he got me down to half last time
only like 20+ dudes still left that are just lighting buildings on fire no biggie /s
kill him avian
go to cut off limbs so he even if he does get up he cant fucking attack us again
take off his armor
it melts
god fucking dammit did we not just go through 4 hours of illusion bullshit?
it gets put back on him
he gets back up

You see, that could actually be an interesting take on it though, where you have a setting where people stay squishy and level one, but using items makes them gain power, and then you can use those to be strong yourself.

And then monks are the ones who found a loophole since their body is a weapon, so they get to level up normally.

The answer is simple, really.
You just have to kill gravity's xp.

>>54099893
A cult emerges that worships gravity and works to make it more powerful by throwing people off of cliffs.

>>54099946
We have to perform a greater ritual to cast ennervation on gravity to reduce it's level

The cult tries to stop us, and eventually, gravity itself - by dropping rocks on us.

No because you lose EXP when you die

That was the patch the gods wrote in to fix that exploit after THE INCIDENT

>>54097255
>Your idea of the game is completely backwards of how it actually works.
/tg/ - Traditional Games

>>54100224
I heard rumors that The One Whose Name Starts With J is still being punished by God for munchkinism even now, two thousand years after THE INCIDENT.

>>54100224
I wonder where the EXP goes.
Does death take it? Or does it just sort of float about in the afterlife waiting for your soul to catch up and be absorbed back into you? EXP is basically just memories after all, right?

>>54100260
>Does death take it? Or does it just sort of float about in the afterlife waiting for your soul to catch up and be absorbed back into you?

It's absorbed back into the life stream to be alloted to new lvl 1 lifeforms.

When you kill a thing, you absorb some of it's EXP, and the rest goes back into the EXP stream

This is why undead are evil/bad, because their exp stagnates with them.

>>54100286
By casting ennervation on a zombie and fully draining it's xp, do you turn it into a creature of good?

>>54100286
Wait.. either the dead leave all their EXP behind when they pass on, which would severely weaken those souls in.. whatever it is people do in the afterlives.
Or they take their EXP with them and deplete the amount left for the living.

Actually you could probably do something with that last one. The world is dying, EXP levels are running out, people hoarding what they can and in turn becoming targets for those who covet the power that comes with EXP.

>>54100318
If it has no EXP, it ceases to exist.

Ghosts is EXP trapped in the world of the living without a body. Seeking to drain enough EXP to manifest a physical form.

>>54100337
people just reincarnate or fade away into the exp stream

GM is a great guy and is a lot of fun to interact with in scenes with NPCs, but anytime it comes to the plot we have to drag any information out of him. Any "clues" we get are the most esoteric leads that could mean anything or nothing at the same time.

Crime is an inevitability, if the nobility can find a way to govern it then merchants never get too powerful and thieves never get too cocky or violent. As independent and officially recognized guilds they'll keep themselves and eachother in check. Until the inevitable collusion between the two and the ultimate downfall of the ruling nobility.

Organized crime isn't a necessity but its not inherently a bad thing. That being said, if you're hired to do a job and YOU DO THE EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE don't expect to get paid. And if you piss off powerful people, don't expect to not face consequences.

>>54106946
There's a difference between threatening and carrying out your threat. He was just using intimidate. If he was a wizard capable of casting Disintegrate he obviously wouldn't be bothered by the intimidate, which would signify that maybe he's a lot stronger than he looks.

He was just a bad DM.

>>54087695
Had a similar thing happen once. Fighting some orc chief at low level, but we managed to paralyze him with some magic item thing.

Wrong again. It was his own body that killed him. Should he have had stronger bones and soft tissues, he might have survived the impact.

So, he killed himself. Hopefully the EXP gained will be enough to level him up so he can get that +1 Con mod. Maybe than he can make the Fortitude Check.
